So, I’m guessing you are a final year student and maybe since the last two years you have been planning to study abroad to get that competitive edge in your career. Therefore, you must have already gathered a lot of research material to shortlist the fine universities that you could pick from to study abroad. Great! The job is half done.
However, the other half is yet to be finished. What is the other half though? The main procedure that will fulfil your dream to just get you there! So, once you are done with the good old formalities of enrolling with your university, the task that is filled with toils will be: Getting a visa, booking flights, foreign exchange and travel insurance. (I won’t waste your time talking about the other domestic chores that you would probably undertake). These given tasks can be simplified with Thomas Cook’s student travel services, which are all facilitated under one roof. Saves time for all the running around, doesn’t it? Now, let’s breakdown all these services one by one:
1. Air Travel

After all, you are going to study abroad and will be away from home for a long period of time; therefore, Thomas Cook will ensure that your experience from the time of the bookings to that of you getting on-board,is as smooth as possible. Moreover, there is a customer service of 24×7 to reassure you of a seamless flight booking experience. There are some super student discounts for your airfare.

There’s more on offer like flexible dates on select airlines, excess baggage options, free ISIC student cards and a nominal fee for airport assistance in case you wish to opt for it.
2. Foreign Exchange Services

This is going to be amongst your top priorities, since you need to figure out your budget when you land in a different country altogether with people from different corners of the world.

There are other facilities, however conditional, like three free ATM withdrawals on multiple currency prepaid travel cards and zero remittance on sending university fee of INR 10 lakhs and above.
3. Travel Insurance-Â Most important thing while planning to study abroad

While it is important to hold necessary possession of the things required for you to survive abroad, another important factor is to secure your well-being while you are there.
